SUMMARY:Online Iftar: "Breaking the Fast For Peace"
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, April 7th\n11:15am EDT – 12:15pm EDT (6:15pm – 7:15pm Holy Land Time)\n\n\n\n\nOnline Iftar Featuring the Peacemakers\, a Multifaith Discussion of Fasting\, Ramadan\, the AR’s Iftar Events\, and Fasting together in Solidarity\n\nWith:\n\nSheikh Ghassan Manasra\nDavid Less\nAbdelsalam Manasra\nChris Miller\nReligious Leaders from all 3 faiths discussing Fasting (Speakers TBA)\nPhotos & stories from the AR’s 2024 Multifaith Iftar Events in the Holy Land!\nBreaking the Fast together — bring dates & water\n\nBreaking the Fast of Separation — Fasting  \nWe invite you to join in fasting – for however long is right for you. Fasting is a sacred practice in the Abrahamic Faith traditions\, which will be explored and discussed at our online program. In the Holy Land\, the Ramadan fast is 14 hrs long\, so\, after dinner in the US\, if you refrain from eating or drinking\, and skip breakfast\, you can break the fast with us having fasted about the same amount of time. \n\nRamadan Fast Times:\n\nJerusalem: 4:51am – 7:10pm (14hrs\, 19min)\nSarasota: 6:07am – 7:52pm (13hrs\, 45min)\n14hrs prior to 12:10pm EDT = 10:10pm EDT.\n\n\n\nWhat to bring: Dates & Water \nWhether or not you are fasting\, you are invited to bring water and dried dates for the symbolic breaking of the fast\, together. Dates and water are commonly the first items consumed to break the fast in the Holy Land\, providing much needed hydration\, and a burst of sugars to reanimate the organs of the body. \nFasting is a way to be in connection with the Abrahamic connections to fasting\, and to be in connection with those who don’t have enough food to eat\, who are fasting because of famine\, starvation\, lack of aid\, etc\, as in Gaza and in many places around the world. \nThe practice of fasting is traditionally seen as a way of becoming closer to God\, to the spirit\, and further from materiality\, corporeality. It is a practice seen in many traditions outside the Abrahamic Faiths as well\, a a means of purification of body\, mind\, and heart. \n(Muslims outside the Holy Land – we will be symbolically breaking the fast at the Iftar time in the Holy Land\, so of course\, we understand you won’t break fast with us together.)

But there are plenty of signs that G-d / Allah was not One who took pleasure in war. The text creates many limitations and warnings. For example\, in this week’s Torah portion\, the Israelites fight the Midianite. Yet when the Israelite soldiers come back victorious to the camp\, they are “unclean.” Instead of the nation holding a big victory celebration for them\, those who took part in the killing must stay outside the camp for seven days to purify themselves and then must bath before then can re-enter society. This is a sign that war and killing in war were not pure in the eyes of G-d\, even in ancient times.\n\nThe future that the Prophets foresee is a time of peace. Swords will be beaten into plows and the meek (not the strongest fighters) will inherit the earth. Hoping that Sheikh Ghassan will have similar examples anti-war sentiments Qur’an or tradition.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n(Please Note: Password Needed For Entry)\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83181558604\n\nMeeting ID: 831 8155 8604\nPasscode: 8887799\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    Join Zoom Meeting    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Presenters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTed Brownstein\, AR Board\, TAO Member\, Lake Worth Interfaith Network\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTed is a Jewish-Christian-Baha’i living in Lake Worth with his wife\, Chris.

He has worked in interfaith dialogue and relations for decades in the Holy Land with Yakar and YESODOT in Jerusalem\, Hebrew University\, as a Co-Founder and Co-Director of Anwar Al-Salaam Lights of Peace Society in Nazareth\, and in many programs with the Abrahamic Reunion\, hosting the 2017 Multifaith Iftar Dinner. He is currently a fellow at the Hartman Institute.\n\nRabbi Shraga Bar-On\, Hartman Institute\n\n\nRabbi Dr. Shraga Bar-On is the Director of the Kogod Research Center for Contemporary Jewish Thought and the David Hartman Center for Intellectual Excellence\, and a lecturer of Talmud and Jewish Thought at Shalem College.\n\nAt the David Hartman Center\, he is responsible for the advanced training of aspiring public intellectuals through the Beit Midrash for Israeli Rabbis\, the David Hartman postdoctoral fellowship\, and the Maskilot fellowship for women pursuing their doctorate. His research in Jewish philosophy and identity addresses a wide range of eras and topics: Second Temple literature\, Mishnaic and Talmudic scholarship\, medieval Jewish literature\, early Zionism\, and contemporary Jewish identity. His books and other works have been published in academic\, popular\, and educational contexts.\n\n\n Druze Sheikh Yunes Amasha\n\nSheikh Amasha\, a native of the town of Ussefiya in the north of Israel\, is a Druze religious leader. As Imam of his community\, Sheikh Amasha is responsible for conducting religious rituals. He is also a member of the Supreme Druze Religious Council in Israel\, headed by spiritual leader Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif.\n\nSheikh Amasha\, one of the Druze members of Beit Morasha’s Municipal Forum for Interfaith Leaders from Mixed Cities\, has now been appointed to the important position of Forum Coordinator.\n\n\n\n\n\nAsked why he had originally joined the Forum\, Sheikh Yunes replied: “The Druze are a peace-loving people\, favoring any initiative that promotes relations based on tolerance\, understanding and acceptance of others. Personally\, having lived all my life in a mixed town\, and often working with members of other communities\, I have come to know Israelis from all ethnicities. Always regarding them as my brothers and sisters in humanity\, I understand the great importance of preserving good relations between the different faiths.”\n\nSheikh Amasha believes that the Municipal Forum for Interfaith Leaders from Mixed Cities serves a critical function: its members become acquainted with each other’s faiths and customs\, and also learn from one another’s experience as faith leaders\, especially in addressing the burning issues of present-day Israeli society.\n\nFinally\, Sheikh Amasha asserts that “The Forum serves as an example for members of all ethnic groups\, demonstrating that despite our different faiths\, we can all live together in peace and brotherhood.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLana Shukha Nseir\, AR Women’s Peacebuilding Program\n\nI live in Nazareth where I am an elementary school teacher and I am also a member at the Greek Orthodox Community Council.  I have been in many projects with the Abraham Reunion organization\, for many long years\, and recently I am part of the beginning of a new project for educators.\n\n\n\n \nHanan Halabi\, AR Young Peacebuilder\n\nHanan is 19 years old\, from Daliat-Al Carmel in the North of Israel\, and a member of the Druze faith community.

SUMMARY:Unity Prayer For The Holy Land
DESCRIPTION:With Sheikh Abukhalil Al-Tamimi\, Najah Kabaha\, and Siham Halabi\n\nHosted by David Less & Sheikh Ghassan Manasra\nWednesday July 29th\, 11am EDT\, 4pm London\, 6pm Israel Time\nPlease Register (for free) in advance Registration / RSVP\nDear Friends\,\nFor our upcoming Unity Prayers and Online Programs\, we are asking you to register for free. That way we can send you the zoom link before the event\, right to your email\, without having to send so many times to our whole email list. \nWe will also continue to offer Facebook Livestreaming of our programs via the AR’s Facebook Page \nTHE CALL FOR UNITY PRAYER\n The Holy Land is no stranger to all manner of suffering. In response to this particularly difficult  time\, the Abrahamic Reunion will be drawing together—virtually—those women and men who have dedicated their lives to creating peace and understanding in their homeland. \nEven when group prayer is virtual\, people who pray together have a powerful effect. This is true not only for Israel and Palestine\, but throughout the world. Many people think there will never be peace in the Holy Land\, just as many believe we will never have peace throughout the world. But communal prayer and meditation\, with a focus on the common good\, can create the shift in consciousness that we all seek. \nAt each Online Unity Prayer for the Holy Land\, religious leaders and holy peacemakers in Israel and Palestine will join together on zoom and lead 30 minutes of prayer. \nThese meetings will begin at 6:00 pm in the Holy Land\, which is 4 pm in London\, and 11 am EDT. \nDavid Less\, AR Board Chairman\, and Sheikh Ghassan Manasra\, AR International Director\, will virtually host on-site Muslim\, Jewish\, Christian\, and Druze prayer leaders as well as one spiritual musician in the Holy Land. \nPlease join us. The addition of your prayer energy will help build the change we all seek. \nPeace\, Salaam\, Shalom \n  \nRegistration / RSVP\nPlease RSVP at the link above with your name\, email\, location\, religious/spiritual identification\, and number of people attending.\n  \nBios\nSheikh Abukhalil (Nasr) Al-Tamimi\nA significant local leader\, part of the authentic Arab leadership in Palestinian territories.
